With the foregoing and other'l objects in view the .nature'of which will become apparent as the description proceeds, the -1nvention `consists of the novel construction,r`

combination and arrangement of parts here inafter fully described and claimed, vand, 1llustrated in .the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 2 `isa view in side elevation of the bag holder equipped witha supply of paper bags,and i f v' p Figure 3 isa sectional View taken on the horizontal planeindicated by the line of Figure v The bag holder comprises va back 1 which i -v consists of vertical bars 2 providedv near their upper ends with outwardly directed eyes 3 and having straight and angularly related upper and lower portions. The upper portions are vertically arranged and considerably longer than the lower portions/4, and the lower portionsextend downwardly.. and rearwardly :from the upper portions.v

A bottom support` 5is secured to and,y ex- `tends forwardly and rearwardly beyond the back 1, and it consists of ybottom barst which incline downwardly and forwardly from thev lower ends of the back bar portions 4. The support 5 also consists of front bars which are shorter `than the back bar portions 4 and extend vertically upward from the front ends ofthe bottom bars 6, and a cross bar 8 which is carriedby the upper endsofy the:

bars 7. The bag 'holder also comprises a top support 9 which is'carried by the ,back

1 abovethe bottom support 5 and consists ofl top bars "10 extending forwardly from the upper ends of the back bars `2 and V,frontbars 11 which extend downwardly from the v tion Vof the top frontends of the bars.lOvandonareflocated forwardly beyond the vfront bars 7 of thebottom support 5. The bars 11 are shorter lower ends' thereof are angular bars 12 which extend laterally and thence yond thevbars 11 which are in front of the back bars 2.

The holder is'adaptea' te be made from a single length of stout wire,.and it is adapted u shelf or the like,

to be secured to a counter,

as Vshown in Figure 2. In this figurel 13 `than the back bars 2, and secured to. the Y ,60.

rearwardly 'bei located directly vdesignates the counter or shelf and 14 vthe screws through lthe ymedium of which the holder is secured to the counter 'or' kshelf and which engage the eyes The bags 15 are placed in the holder with theirbottom portions positioned in and on the bottom` l" support 5 and with their upper portions po`` ysitioned within the top support 9. The bottoms 16 of the bags 15 are positioned foremost, and due to the downward and forward inclination of the bottom ybars Gof thebot` i tom supportV 5r and the downward and rearward inclination of the back bar portions 4,' such portions in reality constituting the back of the bottomk support, the bottoms'of .the bags are sosupported that theupper edge Vportions of thebottom of the foremost bagvmay'be readily grasped and an upward and forward pull exerted thereon to-efbag lfrom the f support to be made compara- Y construction it being myexpectation that various changes andmodifications may be madeiwithout departing from` the spirit and"v Sco e of my invention. e

hat is claimed is 1. Abag holder comprising aback. con-if. sisting of bars provided with,downwardly` and vrearwardly inclined lower portions, a

bottom su port consisting of bars extending x downwarc ly'and vforwardly from the lower endsofthe back'bars andbars extending upwardly from the front ends of the support: n bars and connected at their upper endsY by :auV cross bar,and a top support consisting of' top bars extendin forwardly from the upper ends of the ack bars, front bars extending downwardly from the front ends of the4 to bars and angular bars extending 5 latere 1y and thence rearwardly from the lower ends of said front bars.

2. A bag holder comprising a back havin straight and angularly related upper and lower portions, the upper portion being 10 longer than the lower portion and the latter extending downwardly and rearwardly from the former, a bottom support having e bottom inelining downwardly and forwardly from the lower ends of the lower back portions andhaving a front extendingyertcall-y upward from the bottom, and e top supportcarred b the back and extending forwardly there rom to a plane beyond the KENNETH RIDDLE.
